Choosing Medicana Avcilar for Spinal Cord Detethering gives patients access to specialist-led tethered cord surgery, advanced microsurgical equipment, and coordinated postoperative neurological care. Established in 1995, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Istanbul, Turkey and operates 63 beds with modern neurosurgical infrastructure.

Spinal Cord Detethering may help relieve the abnormal stretching of the spinal cord caused by tethering to nearby tissues. Depending on the underlying cause, the surgeon may release a tight filum terminale, separate scar tissue, or address other structures restricting spinal cord movement. The goal is to reduce ongoing neurological stress and, when possible, prevent progression of symptoms. Postoperative monitoring focuses on neurological function, wound healing, and bladder or bowel symptoms when affected.
